Breakfast was a very full - and vegetarian, as I had asked. Cheerful, chatty waitress. I could take coffee out to lovely garden with good wood furniture and sea view. Also good to have lift to room on 2nd floor. I discovered there are local buses (being 80+ years, free bus travel) from the depot near ferry terminal from mainland, both very close to the hotel.

Another guest told me about the excellent deals (e.g. DBB 2 or 3 nights) they have, so I was disappointed not to have been offered those. I would definitely go back if I could use these (only during certain months and unfortunately single supplement).

Location was excellent - esplanade was practically on your doorstep . The sea view from the room was wonderful- it was such a lovely way to start the morning . The hotel had beautiful gardens to sit in , whilst having a refreshing drink from the bar and enjoying the view. The staff were also amazing and so helpful.

The room that we had was so amazing and I would not have wanted to stay in another room- however it would have been better if it had a walk in shower as my dad struggled to use the bath with the overhead shower - although it did have handrails. Unfortunately we were advised that they have no sea view rooms that had walk in showers. Not much to do in the hotel at night , entertainment wise- but in fairness, it might just have been the nights that we stayed there - as were only there for 3nts -

The hotel is located a short walk from the ferry terminal . The bathroom was top class.The quality of the breakfast was good when it finally arrived at the table (Most of the time it was just a young lad taking the orders and bringing them into the breakfast room including the orange juice, cereals , tea , coffee and toast - no buffet style here )

The wait for breakfast . Not sure if covid regulations allowed a buffet style breakfast . The large keyring that had to be carried about

I have stayed here before. It is a budget hotel with small single rooms (as expected) at a much lower price than any of the other places nearby that were available on my required dates. While being a little dated and in need of redecoration, the rooms at the Esplanade are very clean and everything works as it should, including a kettle with tea and coffee. The 2 members of staff I spoke to were friendly and helpful.

The hotel is just a bit dull and uninspiring. However I would rather have this at a budget price than pay 3 times more for somewhere more exciting.

Nice views from the front, comfortable beds, tv in the rooms, nice staff. A nice hotel .

You could do with a signpost from the main road. Murder to get into it as it’s all one-way in and out. The entrance from the road is like a small road and past you before you know it and you need to turn to try and get in again. There are still stairs to navigate in the lower half of the hotel if you want to sit in the garden so keep this mind . Restaurant will not open if the deem there is not enough guests staying.

Fantastic location, nice hotel, great rooms, lovely view. We liked the meandering corridors and little stair flights, but it might not be to everyone’s taste. We had 2 rooms, ours was a king with a huge bay window facing out over the beach and the West Bay looking towards Arran, the other was a double also with a sea view. There was also a lounge and a function room (with a balcony) which we were free to use and our relatives came to spend time with us there in the evening.

Worst weather in a decade picked our weekend to arrive 🤣 Next time we’ll ask for rooms closer together.

The location was great, sitting outside listening to nothing but the waves 🌊, not too far to walk to town. Staff ver very friendly and helpful and always had a pleasant greeting for you.

Nothing to do with the hotel, but other guests letting their doors slam shut at night, no consideration for others. NOT the hotels fault. Would have preferred to have been on first floor as a single female traveller, not on ground floor. All n all it was a very pleasant stay.

The Esplanade Hotel, situated right on the shoreline on the southern outskirts of Dunoon, provided an excellent touring base to explore the Coral Peninsula and Dunoon itself. The bedroom was spacious, well decorated and appointed with superb views of the Clyde estuary. The staff were exceptionally helpful, breakfast tailored to taste, working Wi-Fi in all areas and adequate off-road parking, the Hotel was great value for money.

All good !!

Firstly, staff were lovely. Can't beat a place that a team clearly has a good bond - I love that sht. Restaurant looked amazing but again I never really had time to go. Bar had great options, again no time to go though except when I bought a can of juice, pricing was pretty much hotel standard. Very clean, very accessible. FREE HOTEL PARKING <3 The review box is telling me to write more sentences.

Honestly, I didn't get a chance to see too much of the hotel because of work but the wifi wasn't the most stable at times. The review box is telling me to write more sentences again.

The view from the bottom floor room was lovely out over the west bay. The room was a little narrow but enough room for 2 people to spread out their things and the table by the bay window was a great place to sip coffee in the morning. Easy to walk to downtown and to the passenger ferry. Nice fenced in yard between the hotel and the pedestrian promenade along the waterfront that was a great place to sit out and drink a beer on a warm afternoon.

Wish the rooms were a little wider and the bathroom had a walk in shower but overall it was great.
